      There is much to like: effective whole-of-government development approach, advancing DFID’s monitoring of whether aid reaches the most vulnerable and excluded, communicating more honestly with UK taxpayers about development.

      But the big idea is to change in legislation so that all UK aid must contribute to reducing national inequality in partner countries. It also calls for “reducing the importance of GDP growth.”

      It says that it would adopt “the Palma ratio” (ratio of share income between the richest 10% & poorest 40% of the population). as the metric for assessing progress on inequality by its development partners. & encourage all countries to pledge to halve their Palma ratio by 2030

      I'm not convinced we should take focus away from poverty and national development and start worrying whether the top 10% in poor countries are too rich. In many major UK aid partners the top 10% of earners are at around $10 - 20 a day (2011 USD PPP)pic.twitter.com/qrBAAxLTOM

      This is not the global elite (take a look at @Gapminder to get an idea) https://www.gapminder.org/dollar-street/matrix?thing=Families&countries=Kenya,Tanzania,Nepal,Pakistan&regions=World&zoom=4&row=1&lowIncome=314&highIncome=3501&lang=en …pic.twitter.com/ZRkrZUoKp9

      UK poorest 10% consume around $32 /day (PPP terms), full time minimum wage would be around $50. In other words the richest 10% in poor countries are not rich by UK standards.pic.twitter.com/9F4wQaWYNZ

          The WFMNF argues that “what people need and want in the UK, people need & want everywhere.” Yet its target suggests that improvements in the living standards of these people is eroding progress on what should be UK development goals

          It seems like a vision of development-without-development, underpinned by an overoptimistic vision about how much redistribution can do and nothing to say on how the UK can contribute to countries moving from low income to middle income, & from middle income to high incomepic.twitter.com/0ULufVn4WM

          The UK should attack damaging causes of inequality—rigged markets & politics, rent extraction & work to increase the productivity and market power of poorer workers, traders, and consumers. But we shouldn't view development as a zero sum game [Ends]https://www.cgdev.org/blog/will-uk-labour-partys-big-idea-inequality-target-help-or-hinder-development …
